If I don’t port forward, my friends that I’ve shared with can’t see the instance

You do not need to port forward to share a Plex instance over the Internet. App.plex.tv manages the inbound connections automatically. All you need to do is manage invites to your friends. They log in with their email/password or with Google SSO to app.plex.tv and your content will be available over a secure connection with no port forwarding.

Good to know, I’ll turn it off when I get home from work, thanks
